Which prime (only 1) to complement 16-50S?

Would love some insight on what you think would be the best for my scenario. I'm trying to keep my kit affordable so want to keep it down to 2-3 lenses for my NX1. The 16-50S is a given, so if you could only have ONE prime given the following scenario which would it be?

  • I shoot mostly portraits, and mostly of my small children who are brand reps for clothing boutiques
  • Because of that, I don't do a lot of tight shots because I need to get the full body into frame (to show all the clothes)
  • Super sharp images with nice background separation is the goal for these particular imags
  • One of my kids is 2+ and is rarely stationary

I use the 16-50S for video and vlogging as well as for portrait work. But I also like shooting with primes. So if you could just have one NX prime give the above limitations, which would it be?

Samsung NX1
